EO> Have you tried B-DEL? An alternative approach is to mark articles as expired (`E'). Just make sure nnimap-expunge-on-close is not overridden from the default 'always, and every time you close the group those expired articles will be expunged (in IMAP terms). They are really marked as \Deleted on the server before EXPUNGE, but that's an implementation detail. There's two parameters that affect this, auto-expire and total-expire, that you can use to control this process. Ted
